What Winston Churchill said about Russia years ago is still true today.
> 53 percent of Russians said they supported sending troops into Georgia; 36 percent did not
Not as good as in the Soviet days. I am guessing the actual numbers are reversed. Not too many Russian are willing to go against Tsar Putin.
Hitler had great poll numbers until the Spring of 1945...
I doubt anyone who’s been paying attention to Russia thinks that Russians were in the same mood that they were in back in ‘89 or ‘91, but how often do they conduct polls like this in Russia?
I remember the name but is it really to be respected?
One Soviet comrade was driving through a mountainous road! A Georgian military policeman stops him and says: -Hey, you were driving fast, I need you to write a self-explanatory note! The Soviet replies-what do you mean by the note? Georgian replies: Well you have to write a note and in Georgian language! The Soviet surprisingly looks at the policeman and says: I do not know Georgian language, for I cannot write that note! Policeman insisted: Well write the way you know then! The Soviet thought for a moment and then took out a dollar bill and put it in his driver’s license and gave it to the policeman! When a Georgian policeman opened the documents, he smiled and happily replied: And you were saying that you don’t know Georgian! You have already written half of your explanatory note!
This is a good example of the Leftists inspired US polls. When the media is of one mind or controlled by the state, all the people hear is what the state wants them to hear. Then polls are conducted to assure the correct message was received. If not, more propaganda is applied and more polls are taken, until, voila, the public agrees with the state. Then those polls are used to reinforce the message.

Killing small countries is such an ego booster, I can understand. Russia needs to be removed from the history of mankind. It is evil.
Biggest move they have made since Afghanistan. People want to know they live in a strong unified country. A system falls when you don’t support it.(all you libs watching need a lesson in real world life)
I have no doubt Putin would win a free and fair election in Russia today. Don’t underestimate Russian nationalism. The average Russian has already forgotten about the crimes of the Soviet Union. Soviet Union 2.0 will happen if Germany and France continue to appease Putin.
